Your home has
a story to tell.
Finding art that feels right for your home can be hard to put into words, let alone find in a gallery. Karen guides homeowners through the process of discovering original works that resonate with who they are and reflect what their homes represent.
Homes with original art feel more personable, more reflective of who the person or family is, and makes a space feel complete.
The right piece does not just fill a wall. Original art creates unique spaces that people notice.
“People often come to me feeling overwhelmed by the process of purchasing art. They are unsure of their personal style, uncertain what will work in their space, and afraid of choosing incorrectly. The art world can feel exclusive and unapproachable. That is where I come in.“
– Karen
Meet Karen Doochin Vingelen.
Karen grew up surrounded by art, in a family where collecting was simply part of how a home was lived in. That early exposure shaped a belief she has carried ever since: that the right piece of art does not just decorate a space. It sets the tone of a room.
Today Karen actively collects for her own home, and that ongoing practice is central to how she works. She understands firsthand how a single piece can shift the feeling of a room, how art creates emotion before a word is spoken. She looks at art every day, follows artists and the market closely, and is always in the process of learning more.
She brings all of that to her clients. Karen listens carefully to how people talk about their spaces, what draws their eye, and how they want their homes to feel. She knows what it means to -connect with a piece of art, and she wants to help you find that connection for yourself.
I don't push styles or trends. I help you find what's already yours.
Finding the right piece starts with one honest conversation.
Karen makes the process feel effortless. She manages it from start to finish, handling every detail of sourcing, acquisition, framing, lighting, and installation. Each project is guided with the same care given to your goals, your timeline, and your expectations, and if you are working with a designer, Karen partners with them directly to keep the process seamless from every angle.
Discover
Finding your perfect piece starts simply with a consultation to understand you and your space. Karen talks through design elements, lighting, and how you plan to use the room, along with your goals, timeline, and budget.

Complete
Karen sees every project through to the end. She assists with scaling, shipping, framing, lighting, and installation. The final presentation is as important as the art itself.
You don’t have to know art to start collecting it.
Karen works with homeowners at every stage of that journey. Some are decorating a new home for the first time. Others have lived in their space for years and finally feel ready to fill it with something meaningful. Karen works on any scale, whether it is a single piece, one room, or an entire home. Based in Nashville and rooted in the South, Karen brings a personal, in-home approach to art consulting. Wherever you are starting from, she meets you there.
Karen is also available for interior design projects, partnering directly with designers, sourcing art globally to complete their vision with the right piece. When the artwork needs to carry as much intention as everything else in a room, Karen brings the eye and the access to make that happen.
For the right project, she travels anywhere.
